Hey Everyone!!! Tonight was another awesome edition of....THE AUDIO UNION!!! We had a great lineup tonight starting with Nikita Mortenwold! She is a lovely girl from the UK with an awesome accent and an even better singing voice! She did covers from several genres and ended with a personal favorite of mine from Pink! I loved her set and look forward to catching a show soon! She was followed by my good friend and amazing SL/RL performer...Porter Paquot! I have mentioned her before...she always delivers a great set full of fun, and vocals that could blow your mind! Sorry, but 15 minutes is just never enough of Porter! Following Miss Paquot a brand spanking new musician took the SL stage! His name is Joel Eilde also known as Dragonfly... His set started dark and he blew up the stream with his hard rock and killer voice! I was ready to hit the dance floor and make it my own...seriously, it was a great new sound to hit SL! I am totally looking forward to a full set and so should you! We waved goodbye to Joel and welcomed another SL favorite of mine, Stratus Mactavish. His strong acoustic skills and sweet voice filled TAU with the sounds of Jason Mraz and the like...he guided us into a sweet and sexy mood, perfect for an SL night of romance....ahem...Finally we met the last performer of the evening, LoneWolf55 Genesis. I don't know about you, but I have been seeing his name all over the grid lately! He gave us his own style of music, doing some old time faves and some new ones with a twist thats all his own! the night rocked, we had a great turn out! Check these fab people out! Let me know what ya think!!! Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Wednesday night and where was I...at The Roof of course! I was lucky enough to be there for Dragonfly's first Rooftop performance! Wow, it was a rockin set! He does some really cool originals and totally awesome covers! He has a unique sound, and I thoroughly enjoyed them all! I have to say this is one performer you don't want to miss! Leave it to Lingual Markus to find the best performers to get us over the hump! Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

It's Tuesday night and I was summoned to Snug Harbor Island to hear DirtyDee Sweetwater. I have heard him before, don't let his name fool you, he plays acoustic guitar and sings some great ballads and love songs! The crowd was as interactive as they come, teasing and egging him on, and he never missed a beat! He was quick witted and fun! He has been around SL for quite awhile, but I always suggest if you haven't heard someone in some time, get yourself out there and give them a second listen. You just never know when you are going to be surprised! I really enjoyed DD's performance and hope to catch another set soon, maybe I will see ya there!

Hi SL Music Lovers! We had a great session of TAU tonight! First up, BGSinger Hermit. He did a great rendition of Pretty Woman followed by some cool covers that showed his versatility perfectly! We all enjoyed his set and look forward to catching him again soon. Our next performer was unfortunately unable to make it, but luckily, Chris Evermore was in the audience and more than happy to step in for us! He was awesome, as usual, providing us with 15 minutes of pure aural pleasure! A special thank you to Chris for that last minute rescue! Following Chris, Rapture Damone took the stage and dare I say with force! She sang some of my favorite songs and the audience just couldn't get enough of her! I plan to catch a full set of hers very, very soon! Bosco Constantine was waiting in the wings for his set and wow, all I can say is...what a fun show he puts on! He steers clear of the usual covers and provides a unique and entertaining experience for all! It was a shame he only had 15 minutes, but that just means we will have to seek him out to catch a full set! Last on the roster, Zerbie Magic. I have had the pleasure of hearing her before and it is ALWAYS a treat. I am particularly fond of her originals. Her smoky voice filled the TAU stage and made a perfect ending to a really wonderful Audio Union! Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Hey, it's time for another new musician alert! I again found myself at The Dirty Martini, Venus Panthar's place to hear Al Velvetleaf. He is a really great guitarist with a sound akin to Journey. My friend and I enjoyed the tunes and the great atmosphere! Al is still tweaking his sound, but he definitely is on the rise...I won't be surprised if he isn't the next new thing if ya know what I mean! He has a smooth voice and some killer talent on the strings, so check him out! See ya there! Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck

Hi Everyone! I know it's been awhile, you know how it is...SL has a way of wreaking havoc with our emotions and mine seem to be the favorite lately. I am finally back to searching for new and interesting music in SL and today I came across Mica Breen. He isn't exactly new...but new to me :-). I caught his set at The Dirty Martini, Venus Panthar's place. Awesome venue, very friendly and great atmosphere...and I am so glad I made it there! Mica is a Georgia boy living in Texas, a real country boy! He does a variety of country songs, some originals too! It was a great time, the crowd had fun and the chat was really cute! One suggestion...don't mention chocolate during his sets unless you want to hear him moaning a bit...on second thought....CHOCOLATE! Thank you for peeking at Tessa's Take....until next time...Tessa1 Beck
